Solid Edge Geometry Type Library
Edges Property
Description
Returns a collection of edges of a specified type that belong to a model, a feature, or a topology collection of faces.
Property type
Read-only property
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Property Edges( _
   ByVal EdgeType As FeatureTopologyQueryTypeConstants _
) As Object
Parameters
EdgeType
ValueDescription
igQueryAllFeature Topology Query Type - All
igQueryConeFeature Topology Query Type - Cone
igQueryCylinderFeature Topology Query Type - Cylinder
igQueryEllipseFeature Topology Query Type - Ellipse
igQueryPlaneFeature Topology Query Type - Plane
igQueryRoundableFeature Topology Query Type - Roundable
igQuerySphereFeature Topology Query Type - Sphere
igQuerySplineFeature Topology Query Type - Spline
igQueryStraightFeature Topology Query Type - Straight
igQueryTorusFeature Topology Query Type - Torus
Remarks
The result of the Edges property is a topology collection. This topology collection is a temporary collection and is overwritten the next time the Edges, Faces, or FacesByRay property is used. By default, the Edges property returns all edges for the object. The topology collection can be restricted to a specified type of edge by supplying a value (from the FeatureTopologyQueryTypeConstants constant set) for the EdgeType argument for the feature objects only. For example, this property can be set to return all ellipse edges, straight edges, and so forth.
Example
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim objApp As SolidEdgeFrameWork.Application
    Dim objDoc As SolidEdgePart.PartDocument
    Dim objBody As SolidEdgeGeometry.Body
    Dim objBEdges As Object
    Const TESTFILE = "T:\vbtests\testcases\freeform.par"
    ' Report errors
    Const PI = 3.14159265358979
    ' Create/get the application with specific settings
    On Error Resume Next
    Set objApp = GetObject(, "SolidEdge.Application")
    If Err Then
        Err.Clear
        Set objApp = CreateObject("SolidEdge.Application")
        Set objDoc = objApp.Documents.Add("SolidEdge.PartDocument")
        objApp.Visible = True
    Else
        Set objDoc = objApp.ActiveDocument
    End If
    Call objDoc.Close
    ' opening the test case file
    Set objDoc = objApp.Documents.Open(TESTFILE)
    ' getting the body object of the model
    Set objBody = objDoc.Models(1).Body
    ' getting the collection object of edges from the Body object
    Set objBEdges = objBody.Edges(EdgeType:=igQueryAll)
    ' USER DISPLAY
    ' Release objects
    Set objApp = Nothing
    Set objDoc = Nothing
    Set objBody = Nothing
    Set objBEdges = Nothing
End Sub
